Talisker Single Malt Scotch Whisky - Whisky Live – 2010

Whisky Live is the leading whisky event for consumers on the global stage, and 2010 saw the first year of this event making its way to Sydney.

Hosted at the Royal Randwick Racecourse, whisky enthusiasts flocked in to learn about their favourite drams, discover new ones and in general soak up and absorb all things whisky.

The Talisker stand stood out for its professional design and the great team of experts behind it including whisky ambassador Barry Chalmers. The busiest stand of the festival, guest were invited to not only sample a wide range of classic malts, but to also journey through the many expressions of the award winning Talisker Single malt scotch.

In addition to the stand we also hosted several talks and tastings on whisky in the tasting rooms
